I'm not a big fan of restaurants that have an extensive menu unless it's a Chinese restaurant with all the fixings, but considering Planet Dailies is a casino cafe it wasn't that bad. I've been here before but failed to remember the incredibly thick menu they have. My guess is I only came here to sober up before calling the night. I don't remember too much of the past but the sober me that went recently found this place to be A-OK. I guess I must have been on hot streaks when I went to Planet Dailies in the past because a sober me would never want to spend $20 on a salad, despite it being good, at a casino cafe.
One thing that really got on my nerve though was when our waiter described to us their Egg Drop Soup ($10.95). He described it as the size of a Pho Noodle Bowl, so we decided to have it thinking it was a lot of soup for a party of 4. When it arrived...the bowl was huge but "where was the soup we thought?" The soup filled only a quarter of the bowl...wow!...we got hosed.
Here's what we orderd:
Egg Drop Soup $10.95
Crab Salad $20.50
Carbonara $14.50
Reuben $13.99
The Crab Salad was a superstar although a bit pricey. The Egg Drop Soup was a rip. The Carbonara was alright. And, the Reuben was good enough to clean the plate. As for the customer service, the waitstaff here starts off really well, but fades away in the end (e.g. never checking up), otherwise it's not bad at all.
The food is OK, but I'd definitely check up Tix-4-Tonight for 1/2 price at Planet Dailies because the restaurant is pricier than other cafes. But hell, if you're winning...money is never a problem.
